@@scoutman66 It’s just a glimpse in time. I’m a child of former Confederates and we realize that it wasn’t good even for us. After the Civil War A LOT of former Confederates, who kept in mind were poor homesteaders turned to crime. Literal Bandits and Highwaymen like in a fantasy RPG or Fallout. In fact if the Confederacy had just been abolished, you could argue the slaves would be in the same spot but the end of slavery would’ve lead to a steady income for workers which would’ve made sure we had a strong economy. But it would’ve meant less (not none) money for the elites so of course that’s gotta go.
I like how these are the reverse of the Wilkins Coffee and Claussens Bread ads. In those two the muppet supporting the brand is harming someone else for rejecting that brand, but in these Southern Bread ads the muppet promoting the brand is the one putting themselves in harm's way.
Jim Henson was born and raised in Mississippi. His family moved to the Washington DC area when he was 12. So he probably had a southern accent as a kid.

I can literally not find out anything about this brand of bread online. I wonder where it was distributed in the South and when it went out of business or merged with another bread producer. These commercials are very funny.

You just took the locomotive and replaced it with Germany, I still chuckled, but come on, be more creative than that! Have him into a boxing ring or something.

Southern guy: I do anything for southern bread, I even try to destroy Kentucky Fried Chicken places. ( at the destroy all the damage to the place, the police arrested southern guy. ) but of course it was a bad idea to do that from the beginning.
and charming little fuzzy pseudo-humans are impossible!! there's definitely something fishy going on in these.... I can't quite but my finger on it.....
This is very unlike the other vintage Muppet commercials I've seen with one guy who gets punished for not liking the product, but that's not to say it's worse.
I'm pretty sure Numerblock Seven would do anything for Southern Bread. He'd try everything the Southern Colonel would do and he'd succeed without a scratch.
Southern Colonel: Here's an extra point for Southern Bread! (kicks bread over the field goal) Crowd: (cheering) Southern Colonel: Southern Bread scores again!
The puppet reminds me of a mix between Uncle Travelin' Matt from Fraggle Rock and Colonel Sanders. I wouldn't be surprised if the puppet builder who built Matt took direct inspiration from this.
“I’d do anything for Southern Bread! I’d even call Jack Horner an irredeemable monster!” “Wha? Wha? What took ya so long? IDIOT!” (Southern Colonel gets his Southern Bread brown up) “Oh why do I do these things for Southern Bread?”
I really like the locomotive kind because you could see his eyes move not really but each time it showed the locomotive and then him was just picture perfect they changed the eyes change the eyebrows and was really good actually
I could be wrong, but I think Merita Bread, Kern's Bread, and Taystee Bread are the only bread brands that are still around that Jim Henson did commercials for back in the 60s. Correct me if I am wrong
Did Jim Henson come up with a bunch of commercials which inevitably led businesses to fail? Why do I imagine him coming up with these against the wishes of the CEOs
“Don’t worry! Southern Bread shall rise again”
🤣
"To prove my love for Southern Bread, I'm gonna jump off the Empire State Building *jumps off and comes back up* Actually, Southern Bread never lets you down. Y'all try it."
Nowadays with all the Confederate statues being toppled I'm curious what people's reaction would be to that commercial nowadays

Jim Henson was treading new ground here. He finally discovered that you can advertise a product without threatening to murder people who don't buy it.
@@buttbuttson737 a real advertising pioneer
Ikr
He even questions why he does it at one point.
Jim Henson was born and raised in Mississippi. His family moved to the Washington DC area when he was 12. So he probably had a southern accent as a kid.
Washington Darn Confederates
Some interviews you can definitely hear that familiar Mississippi twang.
"I'd do anything for Southern Bread. I'd even risk getting canceled in about 50 years' time!"
Southern guy: but of course that never going to work. Try some southern bread.
Jim Henson is five dimensions ahead of us he checked out long before he could be cancelled
vision until Disney owns it that is.
Why, because he’s Southern?
Someone sounds like a snowflake using buzzwords
ok THIS...is vintage. All the confederacy jokes! I couldn't help but laugh at the Jim Henson-ness and the tongue-in-cheek humour of it.
Suprised no racial stereotyping
These are funny, without mentioning anything racial.
What’s exactly the tongue and cheek humor?

@@hilotakenaka yes I understand the jokes, but what makes them “tongue and cheek” and not just jokes?
Imagine being in a baseball stadium, and there's a puppet with a cowboy hat in the audience.
All those who saw were lucky and probably didn't even know it yet.
@@yosefdemby8792 Yeah
Every time I try to imagine anythang, all I see's is that Suthun Bread...... :(
@@solomonreal1977 You need to see a psychiatrist.
I'd do anything for Southern bread. I'd even eat Kern's bread with Wilkins coffee!
And have Munchos as a light snack in between meals.
Or McGarry sausage with Claussen’s bread
And a tray of Wheels, Flutes, and Crowns before bed
Not to mention La Choy noodles.
@@pilpyfimbleton8918Just make sure your house is protected against wheel stealers, flute snatchers and crown grabbers!
If they still had more creative commercials like this nowadays I wouldn't skip it

@T3K3 Same here!

“I’d even break the sound barrier for southern bread”
These were way ahead of their time
"Course I'd break anything for Southern Bread."
"Let's moiduh da yankees!"
"I might actually like it up here!"
DeD 😂😂😂😂

I can literally not find out anything about this brand of bread online. I wonder where it was distributed in the South and when it went out of business or merged with another bread producer. These commercials are very funny.
The branding reminds me of BUNNY bread.
As someone from the south, I can confirm that I would do anything for Southern Bread

Still very convincing
This guy looks like Colonel Sanders
I think a lot of ad campaigns then took inspiration from these Jim Henson ads. They must've been so different at the time?
@@suzylux Or an archetypical southerner.

Yes he does
Now that it's just very amazing you find all of these rarest commercials of Muppets you are doing pretty good you're doing great
Southern’s Bread is like music to my ears!
"What are the symbols for?"
@@devinbarlow2021 this a very symbolic commercial.
Wow, these are among the best of Jim's commercials I've seen. Thanks for sharing them!
Thanks for Southern Bread

Then he challenged the Union in 1863 for Southern Bread rights

Thanks for finding the Southern Bread "Football" commercial.

In an alternate universe there is a contingent of southern bread consumers who cannot descend from their standing elevation...
Here's the extra pointment for southern bread. SOUTHERN BREAD SCORES AGAIN
I'm pretty sure Numerblock Seven would do anything for Southern Bread. He'd try everything the Southern Colonel would do and he'd succeed without a scratch.
He'd even kill all the BFDI ships in existence, including this guy!

Crowd: (cheering)
Southern Colonel: Southern Bread scores again!
Oh why do I do these things for Southern Bread?

I'd even go to mars for southern bread
You know southern bread must let you down
Try it!
Now want some Southern bread
Southern Colonel, he is that same Muppet that appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show with Rex Robbins during the Change Of Face sketch.
I’d do anything for southern bread,I’d even go to the gulag
Rare footage of Dr Teeth before trying LSD.
I’d do anything for Southern Bread. I’d even ride an extreme roller coaster!
*cut to him getting off and puking in a trash can* At least now I got plenty of room for a sandwich made with Southern Bread!

These are fantastic.
If he took off his hat and wore a pair of glasses, this maybe the first Colonel Sanders muppet…
Jim warms my heart!
thanks so much!
this is very creative commercial
Just give him some bread already

These are the same formula as the Klondike bar.

0:33 my favorite ad.
Never heard of southern bread also that was more commercials for it than usual
"On top of it all, I get paid in Confederate money."
Actually a sound investment these days with hyper-inflation just revving up.
There we go! Jim Henson's ads are all based on torture.
He looks like Colonel Sanders with a white hat lol😂 :)
Southern bread the Klondike bar of the 60s
0:21 I can Imagine people who watch this commercial starts buying Southern Bread and then they try to fall down a high building
“I’d do anything for southern bread I’d love BFB” - silly men
